D-glucose 6-phosphate is the product of both these pathways [1] and must be converted to glucose before it can be exported from the cell into blood by membrane-bound glucose transporters. [2] Glucose 6-phosphatase is therefore principally expressed in the liver and kidney [1] - while skeletal muscle collectively contain the most substantial ...
This reaction converts glucose 6-phosphate to fructose 6-phosphate in preparation for phosphorylation to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. [2] The addition of the second phosphoryl group to produce fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is an irreversible step, and so is used to irreversibly target the glucose 6-phosphate breakdown to provide energy for ATP ...
d -Glucose + 2 [NAD] + + 2 [ADP] + 2 [P] i 2 × Pyruvate 2 × + 2 [NADH] + 2 H + + 2 [ATP] + 2 H 2 O Glycolysis pathway overview The use of symbols in this equation makes it appear unbalanced with respect to oxygen atoms, hydrogen atoms, and charges. Atom balance is maintained by the two phosphate (P i) groups: Each exists in the form of a hydrogen phosphate anion, dissociating to contribute ...
Phosphoric monoester hydrolases (or phosphomonoesterases) are enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of O-P bonds by nucleophilic attack of phosphorus by cysteine residues or coordinated metal ions. They are categorized with the EC number 3.1.3. Examples include: acid phosphatase; alkaline phosphatase; fructose-bisphosphatase; glucose-6-phosphatase
This gene encodes the catalytic subunit of glucose 6-phosphatase (G6Pase). G6Pase is located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and catalyzes the hydrolysis of glucose 6-phosphate to glucose and phosphate in the last step of the gluconeogenic and glycogenolytic pathways. [5]
The gluconeogenesis pathway is highly endergonic until it is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP or GTP, effectively making the process exergonic. For example, the pathway leading from pyruvate to glucose-6-phosphate requires 4 molecules of ATP and 2 molecules of GTP to proceed
The reaction catalyzed by sucrose phosphorylase produces the valuable byproducts α-D-glucose-1-phosphate and fructose. α-D-glucose-1-phosphate can be reversibly converted by phosphoglucomutase to glucose-6-phosphate, [4] which is an important intermediate used in glycolysis. In addition, fructose can be reversibly converted into fructose 6 ...
6-Phosphogluconolactonase (EC 3.1.1.31, 6PGL, PGLS, systematic name 6-phospho-D-glucono-1,5-lactone lactonohydrolase) is a cytosolic enzyme found in all organisms that catalyzes the hydrolysis of 6-phosphogluconolactone to 6-phosphogluconic acid in the oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway: [2]
